I broke 7100... temporarily

Hi, sorry to reopen this, but I have the exact same issue as the thread starter.

Only thing I did was to check max memory and windows won't start. Only problem is that when I try to start msconfig from repair mode, it says insufficiant privilieges. Even tough Im using an administrator account, any ideas or tips?

Ken: Thank you for your quick response. I didn't try what you said, but you got me thinking... How did the thread starter manage to start msconfig, and I read his post again, he started it from safemode!!

I didn't even think about that, because windows showed me the repair menu as soon as I started the computer, but by pressing F8 I managed to get into safe mode with cmd like he did! And woila!

Turns out windows set the max memory to 256 by itself when I checked max mem setting.

Hours of searching the net, and tearing out hair when the solution was a few clicks away! Thank you again Ken, and thank you garysgold, and thank you sevenforums!!

My pleasure, sometimes all it takes is a new set of eyes. I sat there thinking someone must have suggested all these things but hey if it works. Now you can pass that on to the next person
